Hey guys, Is it possible to send SMS messages (reminders) to a cellphone with rails? How would you do something like that? Is it possible to setup an Action Mailer to accomplish this? - Jim

Of course, I could be flawed in my equating SMS as email. -- - Chris
Yes, this is possible. Infact I''ve been working on a sms system for managing two-way marketting/survey campaings. I should have version 1 up and running soon. If you send me your requirements I can also provide you with api support when i go live.

I just want the user to be able to send SMS to the system where it will then identify their account via the phone number the SMS was received from and add the note to their account.. possibly follow up by having the system send a confirmation SMS back. - Jim On Oct 10, 2005, at 1:27 AM, Francois Paul wrote:> Yes, this is possible. > > Infact I''ve been working on a sms system for managing two-way > marketting/survey campaings. > I should have version 1 up and running soon. > If you send me your requirements I can also provide you with api > support when i go live. > > Jim Jeffers wrote: > > >> Is it also possible to setup a rails application to receive and >> process SMS messages based on the phone number they are received >> from? >> >> - Jim >> >> On Oct 9, 2005, at 3:15 PM, Chris Cothrun wrote: >> >> >>> On 10/9/05, Jim Jeffers <rails-u78NUfcIof50Y1uG8So6J1aTQe2KTcn/@public.gmane.org> wrote: >>> >>> >>>> Hey guys, >>>> >>>> Is it possible to send SMS messages (reminders) to a cellphone with >>>> rails?

inside North America you can apparently send for free via www.teleflip.com - this would probably be the easiest rails integration as you can just send mails via ActionMailer.

I''d be very interested to hear how you accomplished the SMS piece if you wouldn''t mind sharing. I''m researching SMS options now for a project and would love any information I could get. It seems that there are a number of gateway options, all of varying cost and quality, so any reccommendations would be greatly appreciated. Your service looks very promising by the way.

We''re using email to SMS gateway as opposed to signing up with one of the SMS Gateway providers. The downside of email to SMS path is that you''re basically limited to North America only, but it''s free. With SMS Gateway provider you can reach anyone who has a cell phone but it can get rather expensive.

Unless you have a very old phone, you can send an SMS either to a phone number or to an email address. If you send it to email, SMS will arrive as a regular email message (160 characters). _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Most SMS gateways let you specify the ''sender'' number, meaning you can rig things so a regular phone can receive messages, instantly available via a serial connection to a server. There are a number of phones/GSM modems that can be configured for a high send/receive rate and may a cheaper alternative to paying for each incoming message (the way Clickatell and friends work).

Correct. See http://www.windclimber.net/linux/gsm-modem.pcgi for details on how to do this. -- G.

I rolled out SMS via a gateway provider. In my case, Simplewire.com, which does have a cost. The reasons I chose a gateway provider: I can''t count on the users providing detailed information, such as which network they are using. (12223334444-OTpzqLSitTUenWKkSdGoCVaTQe2KTcn/@public.gmane.org). Also I am sending internationally in some cases. My users wanted more detail on delivery. Which I can get using the gateway provider, saving the "ticket" and querying for confirmation with the gateway. I considered using the e-mail method, where a user chooses their network. But with number portability hitting the US, it will cause too many issues down the road with users not updating their network settings. Another option, which I have not tested thoroughly, is to piggy back on the AIM network, which can send SMS messages now. Though I am not certain what their policy is regarding automated use, and certainly any significant volume of messages will trigger a red flag. The trick with SMS gateways is that you purchase a number of "credits". Each message will cost 1 or more credits, depending on the network the message is destined for. You can buy credits in bulk, for example Simplewire''s rates start at: 1,000 Message Credits for $57 USD 5.7 ¢ / Credit 10,000 Message Credits for $450 USD 4.5 ¢ / Credit 50,000 Message Credits for $2100 USD 4.2 ¢ / Credit In the U.S., the credits per message range from 1 to 4 credits. I am negotiating for lower rates for an upcoming service, hoping to get the rate down to 2.5¢ per credit. Another option is to setup your own gateway using something like Kannel.org or SMSTools. You then need to pay fees to connect to SMS network in some manner, direct, GSM modem or mobile phone. Sorry if this is a bit disorganized, I just finished doing research in this area. -- Lon Baker http://www.speedymac.com AIM: spdemac
Is there a SimpleWire dev kit for Ruby? I saw Java, PHP, etc. on their site but didn''t notice one for Ruby. Thanks.

I have the mail server and ruby on the same machine and I haven''t noticed any delay so far. Occasionally an SMS or two takes a little longer to arrive (a few minutes) but that sometimes happens even when I send SMS from my cell. eduard zaptxt.com On 12/17/05, Wolfgang Borgon <wborgon-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Eduard, > When operating through email how is the performance -- is there much of a > lag between send and receive? > > *eduard <fishkei-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>* wrote: > > We''re using email to SMS gateway as opposed to signing up with one of the > SMS Gateway providers.
